Favorite CURRENT Sitcoms?

[Lex]

Curious what kind of response this draws...

This is a tough one for me today, without Friends now.

I guess I'd have to say of the ones I watch, Joey, According to Jim, King of Queens, but I never seem to catch it except reruns for some reaspon on WB. Reba I guess as number 4.

Edit, I watched Rodney some too while on, and thought it was funny. Not as funny as According to Jim, but still good.

I like Everybody Loves Raymond (but only 3 episodes left), King of Queens, According to Jim, Still Standing, Two and a Half Men, and I'm sure there a couple others I watch but I have had to much sun the past couple days and can't think straight.

I'm LOVING Lost :T Each episode is like most shows season finales for suspense/cliff-hanging! I Highly reccomend!! :yesnod:

West Wing is still a favourite too and our family is quite enjoying Joan of Arcadia as well as our guilty pleasure Desperate Housewives :lol: Other than that we enjoy Amazing Race (especially) and Survivor, Apprentice and Top Model for $hit$ and giggles.

[Neal_C]

Oh, don't get me started listing all the other shows I watch. Lost is definitely one, so is Desperate Housewives. I was just mentioning the sitcoms.

I watch to much tv, oh well.

Three's Company
Diff'rent Strokes

[Lex]

This thread is about sit coms. You other reality folks and drama and steamy shows will get your chance.

Three's coming and Different strokes? Where you been, those been out of prodution just a little while, lol. Perhaps I shoudl rephrase, as CURRENT or new release type comedies, not all comedies of all time. Sorry Will.

[Shane Martin]

Current:

Rodney: Heard its canceled anyway
Two and 1/2 men
Still Standing

My wife likes Joey and Raymond.

[jimmyp58]

Dang....I was hoping this would be favorite sitcoms of all time. Yep, when Friends left the air that was about it for me.

[ekkoville]

Two and 1/2 Men.....Everybody Loves Raymond.

[aud19]

Sorry Doug, missed the "sitcom" detail there, thought we were just talking shows.... ops:

[Gene Simmons]

Very glad to see that there are a lot of other KING OF QUEENS fans out there.

My favs, in order:
King of Queens
70's Show (although this season has been nothing short of awful)
Scrubs
Stacked - if you havent watched it yet, I strongly reco that you do, its well done!
Committed - NBC hasnt confirmed cancellation, but its inevitable. Too bad, its great!
Joey - I'm sticking with this one because I feel sorry for him. Last weeks ratings were the lowest ever - around 8 million.

[aud19]

Honestly we don't really watch too many sitcoms.... mostly as there isn't a huge amount of good ones on I suppose.

I like Scrubs and watch it occasionally, (though NBC moved it around contantly for the first couple seasons :evil: )

We've seen a few episodes of Joey but I honestly wouldn't miss it.

Used to watch 70's show but it's on the same time as Lost and Lost wins hands down :T

I guess that's about it other than maybe the Simpsons if that's considered a sitcom....? :lol:

[George Bellefontaine]

Only a couple I watch when I think of it, FAITH AND HOPE and that one with Jim Belushi.

[David Meek]

Desperate Housewives
Everybody Loves Raymond
Friends (repeats)
Will & Grace

Hehehe :B

I watch very little network TV nowadays. My current TV diet is baseball, The Simpsons, South Park, Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, and the Starz movie channels.

[Sarahbee]

Scrubs (getting the Season 1 DVD any day now) and Arrested Development

[Kyle]

The only sitcoms I still watch regularly are Simpsons, South Park and of course the best tv show ever made, Arrested Development.

[Sarahbee]

Speaking of Arrested Development, I'm so glad that Mitch Hurwitz signed the deal to stay with AD for the next two years...now AD just needs to make it to Year 4!

[Kyle]

I heard that they got picked up for a 2 year run already for their new monday timeslot, but I don't remember where I saw it

On a sadder note, cnet bought tvtome.com and has totally screwed it up.

[Lex]

Gene, I saw Stacked this week for the first time, pretty funny. Pamela Anderson, looking good too.

I didn't even know they were still making 70's show's?

I heard that they got picked up for a 2 year run already for their new monday timeslot, but I don't remember where I saw it

I think I saw something about this on eonline.com during the announcements but I think the deal didn't quite go through

On a sadder note, cnet bought tvtome.com and has totally screwed it up.

Not a fan of tv.com so far?

[Kyle]

Well, it has gotten better (tv.com), but its not what it was..

I havent heard anything bad about AD in the press so far, as far as I know its still on schedule for monday night.

[pwman]

Scrubs, Arrested Development, and Still Standing when I want to feel like I am an incredibly great parent. :W

[Sarahbee]

Still Standing when I want to feel like I am an incredibly great parent.

Sitcoms are good for feeling good about yourself like that :P

[Sarahbee]

For the other Scrubs fans out there, Comedy Central just picked up non-network repeats of it starting in 2006...

Hope no one minds me adding to an older thread. As a newbie there are some really great threads there and would like to add to them as time permits!

Anyhow, onto my little selection.

My two absolute favourite comedies of all time are from this side of the pond.

I really loved Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister - by the BBC is the late 70s and early 80s. Starring the late, greats Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne.

I also love Father Ted, a British produced(C4) comedy made in the 90s about three Catholic Priests stuck on a remote Island of the west coast of Ireland. Pure genius.

Black Books(Channel 4 again) is also terribly funny and perverse(in a non-sexual fashion I might add).

The Office was a landmark show too - the BBC version that is.

I don't know if you get much stuff from this part of the world, would be interested to hear if you did..... Apart from Benny Hill that is!

There are some great American comedies there too. Although not all make it over here, in the sense that Emmy winning, primetime shows flop - Raymond being the obvious one, believe it or not - It was an afternoon slot show. Liked it though.

I do like Joey and Scrubs - the only prime time American comedy shows atm and both doing well. King of Queens is also a a snappy show, and doing quite well to boot.

Other shows doing well on cable is Malcom, Weeds and My Name is Earl.
Late night slots are filled with Curb Your Enth. and Arrested Development. I like them a lot.

But as American comedy shows go, I can only raise my hand and salute one.

M*A*S*H

So. My top three. Father Ted, Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister and M*A*S*H.

EDIT - I've just realised that the post was for current shows. Ah well. That teaches me to post as 2:30 AM on a Sunday Morning... I suppose I've mentioned a few tho'.

[Lex]

Two and a Half Men, now a number one comedy in my book. This show cracks me up.

According to Jim, then Rodney, decent sit coms.

[ahcryky]

The Simpsons
King of the Hill

Reno 911
